Fairgame Canary Wharf

Celebrate your birthday at Fairgame, an adults-only playground boasting nostalgic entertainment and reimagined classics for you and your friends to get stuck in. Decorated with retro, neon lights and multicoloured booths, its aesthetic is as energizing as the likes of Lawn Of The Dead, Space Race and Phoney Island, the latter of which you go up against ducks and fish. There's an array of areas to hire if you're looking to host a private affair, from a Carousel Bar that holds up to 80 guests to the Holy Dock Lounge which packs in around 35. Opt for food packages from some of London's top vendors too, such as Dos Mas Tacos and Rudys Pizza, plus there are themed cocktails, like the gin-based Fizz and Floss, available.

Albert's Schloss London

Celebrate your birthday at this vibrant Bavarian Bier hall in the heart of the West End. Albert's Schloss is named after Queen Victoria's husband and pays homage to his heritage and love of arts with a bustling entertainment programme every night of the week - think cabaret, live performances artists and more. There are heaps to get excited about here, like authentic beers, cool cocktails (the rum-based Apple Strudel is a must-sip) and scrumptious food like a gooey fondue to share, schnitzel and more in an Alpine-inspired setting.

Lucky Voice Karaoke - Venues in London

Where better to celebrate your birthday than the coolest karaoke joint in town? All you budding singers have the use of a dressing up box, all the musical hits you could need and – luckily for some – a soundproof room. All you need to do is grab a cocktail and get singing.

The Copper Quay

Make your birthday unforgettable with The Copper Quay. Cruise through London's canals with tons of private hire options, customised to your liking from Kings Cross through to Angel and Camden. Plus, you can bring your own supplies on board and enjoy fun-filled entertainment and a licensed bar as an expert captain steers you through a comfortable 2-hour cruise. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy your birthday bash on the water.

The Pretty Parlour

Want to feel special on your big day? Then make your way to Ealing, where The Pretty Parlour will make you feel pampered. You and your friends can enjoy hot towel treatments, all kinds of manicures and nail services, head massages and more, using only cruelty-free products, all while sipping Veuve Clicquot Champagne or tasty cocktails.

All Star Lanes - Bowling Alleys In London

Out to mark your birthday celebrations by thrashing all your mates at bowling? Whether it's in Stratford, White City, Holborn or Brick Lane, All Star Lanes can accommodate, offering the use of their private Club House with unlimited bowling for up to 80. You'll have two lanes, your own fully stocked cocktail bar and the option of extra karaoke facilities if there's a victory song to be sung.

The Piano Works Farringdon

2-4-1 Cocktails and 1 other offer

For more unusual birthday celebrations in London, Piano Works is your calling card. A piano-led live band take centre stage here, playing a repertoire of songs that come requested by the audience themselves. Aside from the infectious atmosphere, birthday groups can come for delicious dinner and drinks in a party bar with 80 person capacity.

Simmons - London Cocktail Bars

Celebrate your birthday at Simmons at once of its eclectic bars across the city, from Oxford Circus to Putney, the award-winning bar has a monopoly on the city fronting fantastic happy hours and neon-lit decor. It's a great place to let loose with affordable drinks, great music and a closing time of 4am on Fridays and Saturdays. Espresso martini, anyone?

Megan's - Various Sites

On the hunt for a birthday restaurant in London? Fronting venues all over the city, from Battersea to Islington and beyond, Megan's is coming in hot with some of the best Mediterranean eats and dreamy cocktails. We recommend the chilli chicken and marmalade martini.

Hokus Pokus

For a cool and quirky spot to celebrate your birthday, head to the deconstructed apothecary shop Hokus Pokus, located in the basement of The Megaro Hotel in King's Cross. While surrounded by kooky artwork and vintage decor, sip on over 30 potion-inspired cocktails from head mixologist Greg Chudzio - think matcha tea blends, rosemary-infused gin and milkshakes with coffee liqueur.

Night Tales Loft

A gorgeous rooftop in Hackney that's decked out in greenery, Night Tales Loft is a trendy spot for drinks - complete with a heated outdoor terrace and 180-degree views of East London. Sip cocktails like a refreshing paloma or the apricot flavoured A Walk In The Garden, with banging tunes to get you on the dancefloor every weekend and jazz nights on Wednesdays.

Glitter & Titter Cabaret

From hilarious stand-up to fierce drag, sensual burlesque and other variety acts, Glitter & Titter Cabaret offer show-stopping performances at The Albany in Fitzrovia. Join the droves of welcoming regulars for this stellar birthday night out.

BAM Karaoke Box

When the need for birthday fun strikes, how about the largest karaoke venue in Europe? BAM Karaoke Box came to our capital from Paris, and the luxury brand shows no signs of slowing down  - providing Londoners with over 22 private karaoke rooms, two cocktail bars, a live music stage and DJ booth. Plus, you can even order a French-inspired menu straight to the space that you've booked out.
